CURRENT MISSION

Make quality Filipino films for the world to see.

ABOUT ME

For 10 years, I've spent my life serving my two alma mater teaching. From there, I decided to jump into something totally different to tap into my creativity. Without knowing anything, experience anything, did anything, I produced my friend's movie. And the rest, as the cliche goes, is history.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to do good. For myself, for my country, for anyone who'd care to care.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm pretty new here. I've never hosted nor surfed before. But my involvement in film allows me to travel more, attending various international film festivals. Hopefully, I get to meet more people and share my love to my country to all the people I meet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet. But 2012 seems to be a great year for traveling. And hosting.
